Fri, 17 Aug 2012 13:39:53 +0000http://racyrunners.wordpress.com/?p=1661#comment-300OMG I so know how those “weeks” can be…more work, less exercise, more errands, less “me” time….I say wake up bright and early tomorrow, hop on the hotel treadmill, and even if it’s just 3 to 5 miles(see how I added the word “just” in there, like 3-5 miles is nothing to us anymore, even though it will always be “hard”) and that will make you feel better. Then eat, drink, and be merry knowing that you at least took 30 min to an hour to do something for yourself, that you enjoy, that will make you feel better mentally and physically. Have a great weekend with the girls! 🙂

If I had a treadmill at home, I am sure I would be spending alot of time on it this summer. Did you know this is the 5th hottest summer on record? We WILL run together again! Oh how I wish for those crisp October days, or even the days when we have to layer up! 🙂

]]>Comment on Raw Cookies by casirnhttps://racyrunners.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/raw-cookies/#comment-271
Tue, 22 May 2012 21:37:41 +0000http://racyrunners.wordpress.com/?p=1559#comment-271Thanks, ladies. I really never make these the same way–you just want to keep adding dry and moist stuff to the mixing bowl until you get the consistency you want (sticky not crumbly). You can throw in cranberries, raisins, or any other extras.

Colleen, my boys are what I would call kinda vegetarian/kinda vegan–we don’t “label” ourselves, but we talk about healthy food choices all the time. We have not had meat in our house or milk for almost 15 years now, but when they are at a friends house, a restaurant or event they eat what they like and must always be polite(I just hope they make healthy choices). They have seen “Food Inc.”, “Supersize Me,” “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.” and “Forks Over Knives.” They love these raw cookies and fight over them (as well as the snack bars I make), but the soup from yesterday had to be poured over shirataki noodles to cool it down (it was too hot for them; even though they LOVE spicy Thai soup).

Conor will eat anything and loves almost everything I make, while Finn and Ronan are pickier (and still use peanut butter and jelly as a staple), but they won’t eat fast food. I try to pick my battles:) and our diets are not perfect; we just try to do the best we can.
